Some of My Favourite Albums ever! (38 music items)

"By: David Bowie Release date: 1971 Standing track: Life on Mars? Hunky Dory is probably Bowie's best effort ever, and it is surprising because it everything that I normally hate in everyday life or media. Most of the songs are easy-listening, making it OK for all listeners out there. Start off with Changes and try Life on Mars and Songs for Bob Dylan"

"Hyvä tason nosto. Heti alusta asti mennään lujaa. Soundeissa on kokeellisuutta, mutta biisit ovat silti huomattavasti helpommin lähestyttäviä. Pidin kovasti."

RS 500: Part 2 (100 music items)

""Bowie, then twenty-four, arrived at the Hunky Dory cover shoot with a book of photographs of Marlene Dietrich: a perfect metaphor for this album's visionary blend of gay camp, flashy rock guitar and saloon-piano balladry. Bowie marked the polar ends of his artistic ambitions with tribute songs to Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. In "Oh! You Pretty Things," "Quicksand" and "Changes," he invented and perfected a new style of rock & roll glamour. On "Life on Mars?," he sings to all the weirdos like hims"

"“At a moment when no one knew whether David Bowie was a transvestite, provocateur, folk singer or space alien, the then 24-year-old released an album that slyly capitalized on the confusion. "Life on Mars?" placed him in deep space, while a trilogy to his idols ("Andy Warhol," "Song for Bob Dylan" and "Queen Bitch" — for Lou Reed) clarified his earthbound ambition to be a boho poet with prodigal style. “Changes,” meanwhile, proved he could write a great pop song about who he really (mayb"
